With the mecca of mountain ranges the Pacific Northwest has to offer, you might imagine that there are busloads of tourists and adventure-seekers who flood to the PNW during the sunny summer months. In the case of some Washington national parks, you’re not wrong to assume that. However, read this blog to find out where the least-visited national park is located in Washington and why this park is clearly underrated!

An engagement session that took place at Diablo Lake in North Cascades National Park (the least visited national park in the United States!). From a lake at the base of Diablo Lake to an epic overlook, this engagement session will have you planning your own trip to the North Cascades.

The Big Four Ice Caves is a classic and popular spot off of the mountain loop highway to go hiking. Just 90 minutes from Seattle, one will find themselves surrounded by snow capped mountains and the breathtaking fall colors that sweep the mountainside.

Two out-of-towners made their way to the Pacific Northwest for an engagement session at Mount Rainier. Wildfires throughout Washington, Oregon and British Columbia throughout the weeks leading up to the session made the outcome of a mountain view feel very up-in-the-air. However, when we arrived at the trailhead, it was clear that Mount Rainier planned to show off that evening. We hiked throughout the trails and raced against the sun as it sunk lower behind the iconic Washington mountain. My couple was so full of joy and the gal was a total boss hiking through the forest in a dress that matched the pink rays of golden hour. The sunset left us breathless and this adventurous engagement session left me with a lesson I will never forget as a photographer.
